EDITORS COMMENTS
Robbers of the Desert: A Naturalist's Ride in the Atlas Mountains," an intriguing photograph from the late 1800s, captures a thrilling moment in the Atlas Mountains of North Africa. The image, published in Henry Walter Bates' "Illustrated Travels" in the early 1880s, depicts a group of Moroccan men on horseback and camel, armed with rifles and guns, seemingly on the lookout for potential prey. The rugged terrain and barren landscape of the Atlas Mountains provide a stark backdrop to this scene of lawlessness and adventure. The photograph, titled "Robbers of the Desert," suggests that these men may be outlaws or bandits, adding an element of danger and excitement to the image.
